Hammarskjold's Role In Congo Sheds Light On Suez Debacle
BY DAVID HOKOWITZ
UNITED NATIONS (AJP) —For several years now tho UN has been bedeviled by the failure of Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold , to solve the riddle of how to enforce the UN open-canal policy on President Nasser.
The Congo crisis and Ham¬ marskjold's singular and un¬ precedented attack on that riddle, brings the Suez riddle into clearer perspective. That is, as far as the UN is con¬ cerned.
WHAT HAPPENED in the
Congo—during the brief span of three days witnessing the dethronement of the valiant Hammarskjold from an Afri¬ can god to just a UN super¬ man—is already so involved as to be unskeined only by the sharpest historians of the future.
Briefly put: Hammarskjold arnived Iniljeopoldvllle on Aug.
1 with a strong m,andate to deploy the UN Force through¬ out the Congo, including the Katanga province. For the government In Leopoidville, this province — which holds more than 60 percent of Its natural wealth—meant, eco¬ nomically, life or death, and, politically, the territorial In¬ tegrity .of the fledgling Re¬ public which the Security Council had voted to defend.
ON AUG. 3, Hammarskjold, the Comn?andcr-in-Chief of an Army of over 11,000, served notice on the Katanga leaders that he was coming in. On the fourth he sent an advance contingent only to have a few police from Katanga's Premier Tshombe tell him he could not land.
On this defiance, the whole world, armed with a mandate from the UN, waited with bated breath for that bold move which the UN took in Korea to be duplicated in
Elizabethvllle. It waited in vain. Instead, with a sudden and unpredictable turn of mind, the Secretary-General announced a full retreat.
HISTORV AIX)NB will show whether or not his reasons were valid. One thing is cer. tain, during his short sojourn in Leopoidville he had learned a lot of the inner doings of the Congo politics. He saw a many-sided problem. He real¬ ized that here was not only a UN venture involving some police action replacing Bel¬ gium troops. He found no gov¬ ernment machinery at ail, ad¬ ministrative and otherwise.
Thus, as his reasons for not penetrating Katanga, he gave, among other things, the fact that he had not received a sufficient mandate to land in the face of opposition and pos¬ sible bloodshed; that it would constitute an ' intrusion into the ¦ internal affairs of the Congo. •
HAVING TAKEN that stand, the Security Council, in its unprecedented 16-hour round - the - clock emergency session, gave Hammarskjold Its full support. A new prob¬ lem had arisen—the makeup and constitution of the new Congo Republic, whether it become a federation of states or a confederation of states like the U.S.
One thing is clear, and the UN Chief realized it, it will take years before the various tribes inhabiting tho Congo will find a common basis for self-government. It is lor this reason that, on .the very day Hammarskjold entered Ka¬ tanga with the Swedish units, he released a "Memorandum" "on tbe organization of the UN Civilian Operation in the Republic of the Congo."
DBSPITE THE complica¬ tions involved, it would not be wrong to state that the loss to the Congo of the time-element
and sophistry involved Is not unlike the less sustained by Israel, relative to her rights in tho Suez Canal.
Now, how did this come about? In the second riddle of tho Congo we find the answer to the first. It is the fact that either through personal traitB or by virtue of his almost Im¬ possible tight-rope position In the center of a vortex of 82 nations with conflicting inter¬ ests, the Secretary-General is bereft of the power of enforce¬ ment. He simply cannot or dares not carry delicate nego¬ tiations entrusted to him to a point of firmness once he is challenged. This Is true whether the chaiienge comes from a potentate like Nasser or a neWly-risen political leader like Tshombe.
THERE ARE some who maintain that Hammarskjold could resolve his dilemma by just a small show ot political courage. But this is only a
"Hollywood conception" of the star role the UN Chief can play In the UN dramas on the world stage. Actually, it is not a matter of personal cour¬ age—Hammarskjold does not lack It In any sense, moral, spiritual or political.
It Is simply that within the security structure of the UN Charter he Is not stronger than the backing he can get from the unanimous will ot the Big Powers. He did not— and still does not—have it In the Suez. He can, however, force the issue vls-a-vls Nas¬ ser by doing exactly on the question of the Suez as he did on the Issue of the Congo. A new Hammarskjold is emerg¬ ing.
THE ANSWER to the riddle is simply this: the Big Pow¬ ers who have betrayed their role under the Charter have made the Secretary-General the scape-goat for their ca-

The new budgeting procedures put into effect In 1958 will be continued, the new method calls for six sub-committees responsible to the allocations committee.
This procedure proved very successful as each sub-committee was able to conduct a more intensive and detailed examination ol more than 40 agencies, local, re
gional, national and overseas as well as many new requests. Their recommendations are submitted to the Allocations Committee, which in turn submits them to the l>oard of directors.
THE SIX SUB.oommittees are: community relations, education and culture, health and welfar*, overseas, transportation and Capi¬ tal needa.
The community relations com¬ mittee reviews the following agencies: The American Jewish Congress, Jewish Labor Commit¬ tee, Jewish War Veterans and the Joint Defense Appeal (Anti- Defamation League and Ameri¬ can Jewish Committee).

The Soviet rxpo.io opens with record--marked "top state secret" and dated "Berlin, April 30, 1943" - documenting Allan Dulles' talks In Switzerland under the alin.s "Mr. Bull" with the SS Intelli¬ gence emissary Prince Max-Egon Hohenlohe who went under the name "Herr Pauls."
THE SUBSTANCE of tho secret conversation, as these documents reveal, was reported by SS- Haupsturmfuhrer Ahrcns. In them it is brought out that Dulles "does not reject National Socialism in its basic ideas and deeds." They also reveal that "in the course of the conversation" Dulles "had clearly evinced anti-Semitic ten¬ dencies."
The secret Nazi document also records Dulles as having' told "Herr Pauls" that ho was "fed up with listening all the time to outdated politicians, emigres and prejudiced Jews . . ."
WHEN "HERR PAULS" raised the question of the Jews in the post-war period, asserting that the Europeans would never again countenance the return of the Jews, Allan Dulles gave the Im¬ pression that he acquiesced In this, the document reveals. Again, when "Herr ¦ Pauls" arrogantly challenged Dulles to say what he would do with the Jews ot Ameri¬ ca, the record points out, Dulles gave the impression that his solu¬ tion would be to send thom to Africa. The paragraph pertinent to this conversation reads as fol¬ lows:
"Herr Pauls- now made a very sharp thrust on the Jewish ques¬ tion and declared that any decent Central-European would find it unbearable to think the Jews might ever como back again; peo¬ ple would simply not accept a re¬ turn of the Jews and a re-estab¬ lishment of their position of power. Herr Pauls intimated that he sometimes actually felt the Americans were only going on with the war so as to be able to get rid of the Jews and send thom back again. To this Mr. Bull (Dulles), who in the course of the conversation h£td clearly evmced anti-Semitic tendencies, replied that in America things had not quite got to that point yet and that it was in general a question of whether the Jews wanted to go back. Herr Pauls got the impres-
